It's almost like he's only interviewing Miki and wondering to himself "Why are these three people following me and Miki around?". Props to Miki for attempting to bring her band mates into the conversation.
Sorry, the non-interview parts were already mostly cut from the copy I received. I removed the remaining bits, being careful to not cut even a moment of the interview portions. All the removed clips are already available on TH-cam -- parts of promo videos, and part of one song from the 1994 show in Tokyo Shinjuku Liquid Room (recently posted on TH-cam for the first time). The interview portions on the copy I received were already rather disjointed, but it seems that's how it was broadcast.
they are one of the coolest band even now. i am so happy to watch this interview vid in tokyo. they are so nice in this film, arent they? im still big fan of them. miss them!! why broke up??
Sadly, they broke up when the drummer, Chris Aclund, committed suicide in 1996. It was devastating news to the band, families and friends, and fans. They did reunite - and if you haven't heard it yet, they released a 4-song EP in 2015 called "Blind Spot". It is FANTASTIC. I was amazed, usually when bands are apart for a long time their sound changes and often disappoints - but I would put "Blind Spot EP" up there with their best work ever.
Just finished Miki’s book and am trying to find all online interviews now that I understand her better. I can see why Emma would get mad when interviewers only wanted to speak to Miki but it wasn’t Miki’s fault. At times, Miki came across as anxious at all of the attention she got and she knew that the attention would bother Emma (main songwriter) and this anger would be directed at Miki at some point. Emma was nurtured to be competitive and prove others wrong. Miki had more boyfriends and was thinner than Emma. Emma viewed being in a band as a business and therefore could come across as cold. Miki was looking for friendship and closeness from Emma, which she feels she hardly got, but ended up getting it from Moose. Miki was very close to Chris and tried to rally Chris from his depression before he killed himself. Miki is the type of person I would want as a friend. I met the band in 1996. Emma was the nicest to me (she asked where I got a poster of the band that I wanted to be signed), Phil was pretty quiet, Chris was drunk but pleasant, and Miki seemed exactly like she is in this interview, surprised by the attention. I met them in that order. I used to love Britpop in the mid-90’s but detest it now (it wasn’t very good). After Lush disbanded, I found Linoleum, who I still love, but Lush excluding Lovelife, is still my favorite band of all time.
Seen for a split second in this interview... "Eiko Select" directly on the red hair. Eiko is known as Ako, a super powered female seen in early anime movies.
I have some live photographs of them from a gig in London. I paid a professional photographer for a small set. Address was in a melody maker. So glad I still have them. The band got really popular in the 90s with the indie scene being mostly dominated by Manchester bands. Sleeper, Pulp and Stereolabs were getting more attention from the music press. Oasis & Blur, were simply introduced by a brit:pop culture and a house music was becoming another movement in the UK.
I'm dying to see a live performance of "Starlust", never seen one online though it's clear that some exist. Got any? Thanks for putting in the effort to post these.
The interviewer was a jerk for ignoring the rest of the band, nearly all of the time. They were all so talented. Yeah, Miki had that effect on me too.

Walking interviews are a logistical nightmare. It's fair to say though that Miki was the most outgoing member of the band.
Split never received the attention and accolades it deserved. Such a great album from start to finish.
You’re right!
So sad that Chris killed himself.
Thank you for this its so HD!!!!

thanks for this :)
This Japanese guy has really good English. I wonder what program this is. Pre-Lovelife music is great.
Thank God for British rock 'n' roll!
I wish lush were still together, I've loved them for over 20 years, still feel sad they broke up :(

"Project A-Ko" is what you are describing?
I love Miki
Yeah?
I have some live photographs of them from a gig in London.
I paid a professional photographer for a small set.
Address was in a melody maker.
So glad I still have them.

Oh, this interview is so tantalizingly and frustratingly short.
I wonder how the other band members felt about Miki always getting all the attention?
This interview was seemingly interspersed with live shots I'd be quite willing to watch. Can you please post them ?
@wrigh455 you're just so freeking right !
Walking is a stupid idea. Just bad planning.
